It starts out with a stately solemn march and which doubles in tempo to a lively jig. It's great fun to play and is pretty accessable to listeners. It's available on Return of the Repressed CD (Highly recommended as a Fahey starter) and I have a version played by Kottke on Greenhouse. There's a few others running around. The tune's not technically difficult to play. Be as regal and melodic as possible during the slow section. The fast bit should be played with bounce and dynamism. Try to vary the sincopation somewhat the way Fahey does. There's a bit in the Intro (and outtro) where Fahey continues to strum while picking with the thumb. I can't do it but came close to multiple personality disorder trying. Timing's actually 2/4 but I tabbed it as 4/4. Anyway, get into it. Damien In Christ there is no east or west Arr.
